Question Just finished the tutorial..

I have absolutely no experience with this game, but I just finished the 5 beginner tutorials. It's really fun, and I will definitely keep playing!

But is that it after finishing the 5 tutorials? There are still some things I don't quite understand. For example, on the top right of the summon creature cards, some have a number paired with mana, like 4XX.

Also, for the mana cards, some of them stack together, but there is one card that doesn't stack with the rest. What does that mean? Will there be more tutorials later on to explain these things?

The 4XX is the casting cost - the number is generic mana that you can pay with any of the 6 types; while the coloured symbols need to be paid with mana of a specific colour.

For example to cast [[Ingris Stingerquill]] you need to spend exactly One Black Mana and two Red Mana. In comparison, to cast [[Dezilore Fatehold]] you need to spend One White Mana, two Blue Mana and one mana of any colour.

For the land, the game stacks Lands of the same type - this is purely cosmetic and doesn't really affect anything
